| 1 | And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, | Or il arriva, pendant qu'Apollos était à Corinthe, que Paul, après avoir parcouru les hauts plateaux (de l'Asie), vint à Ephèse, (où) il trouva certains disciples, | And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: |
| 2 | He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. | auxquels il dit : "Avez-vous reçu l'Esprit-Saint quand vous avez cru ?"Eux lui (répondirent) : "Mais nous n'avons pas même entendu dire qu'il y ait un Esprit-Saint." | and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was [given]. |
| 3 | And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. | Il dit : "Quel baptême avez-vous donc reçu ?"Ils dirent : "Le baptême de Jean." | And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John`s baptism. |
| 4 | Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. | Paul dit alors : "Jean a baptisé d'un baptême de repentance, en disant au peuple de croire en celui qui venait après lui, c'est-à-dire en Jésus." | And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. |

| 8 | And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. | Ensuite (Paul) entra dans la synagogue, et, pendant trois mois, il y parlait avec assurance, discourant d'une manière persuasive sur le royaume de Dieu. | And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading [as to] the things concerning the kingdom of God. |
| 9 | But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. | Mais, comme quelques-uns restaient endurcis et incrédules, décriant devant la masse la voie du Seigneur, il se sépara d'eux et prit à part les disciples, discourant chaque jour dans l'école d'un [certain] Tyrannus. | But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. |
| 10 | And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. | Ce qui dura deux ans, en sorte que tous ceux qui habitaient l'Asie, tant Juifs que Grecs, entendirent la parole du Seigneur. | And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. |
| 11 | And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: | Et Dieu faisait des miracles extraordinaires par les mains de Paul, | And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: |
| 12 | So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. | si bien que même (on appliquait) sur les malades des mouchoirs ou des tabliers qui avaient été pris sur son corps, et que les maladies les quittaient, et que les esprits mauvais s'en allaient. | insomuch that unto the sick were carried away from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the evil spirits went out. |
| 13 | Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. | Or quelques-uns aussi des exorcistes juifs ambulants essayèrent d'invoquer le nom du Seigneur Jésus sur ceux qui avaient des esprits mauvais, en disant : "Je vous adjure par le Jésus que Paul prêche." | But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. |
| 14 | And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. | C'étaient sept fils d'un certain Scévas, grand prêtre juif, qui faisaient cela. | And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. |
| 15 | And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? | Mais l'esprit mauvais, répliquant, leur dit : "Je connais Jésus et je sais (qui est) Paul; mais vous, qui êtes-vous ?" | And the evil spirit answered and said unto them, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye? |
| 16 | And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. | Et l'homme, en qui était l'esprit mauvais, se jetant sur eux, se rendit maître de tous et fut tellement plus fort qu'eux, qu'ils s'enfuirent de cette maison nus et blessés. | And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. |
| 17 | And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. | Et cela fut connu de tous les Juifs et de tous les Grecs qui demeuraient à Ephèse, et la crainte tomba sur eux tous, et le nom du Seigneur Jésus fut magnifié. | And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. |
| 18 | And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. | Beaucoup de ceux qui avaient cru venaient confesser et déclarer leurs pratiques. | Many also of them that had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds. |
| 19 | Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. | Et bon nombre de ceux qui avaient pratiqué la magie, après avoir entassé les livres, les brûlaient devant tous. On en estima la valeur et on trouva (qu'elle était de) cinquante mille pièces d'argent. | And not a few of them that practised magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. |

| 21 | After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. | Après que ces choses furent accomplies, Paul résolut en lui-même d'aller à Jérusalem, en passant par la Macédoine et l'Achaïe, disant : "Après que j'aurai été là, il faut que je voie aussi Rome." | Now after these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. |
| 22 | So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. | Il envoya en Macédoine deux de ses auxiliaires, Timothée et Eraste, et lui-même resta quelque temps en Asie. | And having sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while. |
| 23 | And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. | Or il se fit en ce temps-là un grand tumulte à propos de la voie (du Seigneur). | And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way. |
| 24 | For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; | Car un nommé Démétrius, orfèvre, qui fabriquait en argent des temples d'Artémis et procurait aux artisans un gain considérable, | For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen; |
| 25 | Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. | les ayant rassemblés, ainsi que les ouvriers de la partie, dit : "Hommes, vous savez que notre bien-être dépend de cette industrie; | whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth. |
| 26 | Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: | et vous voyez et entendez dire que, non seulement à Ephèse, mais dans presque toute l'Asie, ce Paul a persuadé et détourné une foule de gens, en disant que ce ne sont pas des dieux ceux qui sont faits avec les mains. | And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands: |
| 27 | So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. | Il y a danger non seulement pour nous que notre métier tombe dans le discrédit, mais encore que le temple de la grande déesse Artémis soit tenu pour rien, et même que la majesté de celle que révèrent toute l'Asie et le monde entier vienne à être réduite à néant." | and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. |
| 28 | And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. | Ayant entendu (cela) et rendus pleins de colère, ils criaient, disant : Grande est l'Artémis des Ephésiens ! | And when they heard this they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesus. |
| 29 | And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. | Et la ville fut remplie de confusion, et ils se précipitèrent tous ensemble vers le théâtre, entraînant Gaïus et Aristarque, Macédoniens, compagnons de voyage de Paul. | And the city was filled with the confusion: and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul`s companions in travel. |
| 30 | And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. | Comme Paul voulait pénétrer dans l'assemblée, les disciples ne le lui permirent pas. | And when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. |
| 31 | And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre. | Quelques-uns aussi des Asiarques, qui étaient ses amis, envoyèrent vers lui pour le prier de ne pas se risquer au théâtre. | And certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent unto him and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre. |
| 32 | Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. | Les uns donc criaient d'une manière, les autres d'une autre, car la confusion régnait dans l'assemblée, et la plupart ne savaient pourquoi ils étaient réunis. | Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was in confusion; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. |
| 33 | And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people. | Cependant, de la foule on persuada Alexandre, que les Juifs poussaient en avant; et Alexandre, après avoir fait signe de la main, allait donner des explications à l'assemblée. | And they brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made a defense unto the people. |
| 34 | But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. | Mais, lorsqu'ils eurent reconnu qu'il était juif, ils crièrent tous d'une seule voix durant environ deux heures : "Grande est l'Artémis des Ephésiens ! " | But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. |
| 35 | And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? | Le grammate, ayant (enfin) apaisé la foule, dit : "Ephésiens, quel est bien l'homme qui ne sait pas que la ville d'Ephèse est gardienne du temple de la grande Artémis et de la (statue) tombée du ciel ? | And when the townclerk had quieted the multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter? |
| 36 | Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. | Cela donc étant incontestable, vous devez vous apaiser et ne rien faire inconsidérément, | Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash. |
| 37 | For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. | car ces hommes que vous avez amenés ne sont ni des sacrilèges, ni des blasphémateurs de votre déesse. | For ye have brought [hither] these men, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess. |
| 38 | Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another. | Que si Démétrius et les artisans à son service ont à se plaindre de quelqu'un, il se tient des audiences et il y a des proconsuls : qu'ils se citent en justice les uns les autres. | If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another. |
| 39 | But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. | Si vous avez quelque autre réclamation, on en décidera dans l'assemblée légale. | But if ye seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly. |
| 40 | For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse. | Nous courons risque, en effet, d'être accusés de sédition pour aujourd'hui, car il n'existe aucun motif qui nous permette de justifier cet attroupement." | For indeed we are in danger to be accused concerning this day`s riot, there being no cause [for it]: and as touching it we shall not be able to give account of this concourse. |
| 41 | And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. | Ayant parlé ainsi, il congédia l'assemblée. | And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. |
